Sarah Oddoye, Registered Massage Therapist "I always wondered what I would be when I grew up and even after I had progressed in careers in banking, radio, newspaper and television I still found myself feeling the need to search for something new. I love working with people and knew that my ideal career will be people orientated. I discovered massage therapy a few years ago after the birth of my second son and after much research I was determined to become a practitioner and an advocate. I could see a bigger picture in my mind of how these skills could also help improve peoples' lives."
Sarah has lived in various countries and over time developed an ability to empathise with people form different backgrounds and cultures. She speaks Spanish and is passionate about making Massage Therapy accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. Sarah enjoys working in the multidisciplinary setting that the clinic offers due to the variety of client complaints that she gets to work on and help to relieve. She is a graduate of the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy and just moved from Guelph with her husband Colin, their two sons Conrad and Nathan and Georgia, their pet dog. Their sons both play the piano, skate, play hockey and basketball. Sarah spends her time reading modern literature, African dancing, enjoying her husband's cooking and singing. Sarah and her family get adjusted weekly and her "boys" look forward to getting "free" massages from her when she is able to fit them in her schedule.
